If you ask Scott Crossfield (one of the guys with the right stuff) Wolfe wasn't very good at writing about other subjects.

"otorhinolaryngological" refers to "eye, nose and throat." Nose, I think, is implied, since an otolaryngologist is an eye-ear-nose-and-throat specialist. Not only are Wolfe's sex scenes boring, they are also biologically absurd. Hasn't anyone told him to stick to writing what he knows about? LOL.

The joke's on these limeys, not Wolfe. The sex scenes were supposed to be boring.

I personally would be shocked out of my pants if I was at college now," confides Wolfe, who spent four years trawling the campuses for raw material. The book, he says, is "about sex as it interacts with social status. And I have tried to make the sex un-erotic. I will have failed if anyone gets the least bit excited. So much of modern sex is un-erotic, if erotic means flight of fancy or romantic build-up. Sex now is so easy to consummate - it is a pressure that affects everybody, girls more than boys, I think."
